Buying Audi Bluetooth kit, who can install?
Hello Chicago area Forum. I just moved back from N. CA and am ready to spend the cash with Navplus to get the Bluetooth kit for my 05.5 A4 Avant. I know dealers don't usually even acknowledge it is possible to retrofit. I saw some recommendations of ABT installers for stereo. Any suggestions on someone I can trust to retro install the Audi Bluetooth kit? I'm not interested in doing it myself. I have RNS-E Nav, w/XM and 6 disc.
Thanks, I look forward to sharing and meeting some of you!
Dan

Nice to know Alex can do. Also here's something from ABT
Thanks for your replies Mike, Scott and others. I am looking forward to being a part of the Audi group here. My little California Avant got christened today by a city salt truck!
I met with a great installer at ABT on Milwaukee in Glenview. We discussed the kit. John is a big VW guy so feels my pain with how the Audi RNS-E interfaces and options work. We worked out how to do the kit or do a good install with the Parrot and talked about a good install opt. for an Escort SR7 detector. Here is the crazy thing though, if you don't already own the Nav system I would look into the Pioneer AVIC-Z2. Very pricy and you have lots of costs for add ons like XM, rear view camera, iPod, etc. BUT the kicker if I was buying an Audi without the Nav built in is that with a little accessory they can remap the steering wheel controls. The touch screen and better interface than Audi is also very appealing. Fits almost perfectly in the slot. Anyway, for whatever its worth it is nice to see such good integration with the existing controls. Had not seen that before.<ul><li><a href="http://www.abtelectronics.com/product/28218.html">http://www.abtelectronics.com/product/28218.html</a</li></ul>
